Services

Developmental Editing

A developmental editor is the serious author’s personal trainer. I help you take stock, set goals, and evaluate progress by providing effective, insightful, and respectful feedback through each step of the drafting process.

Copyediting

The essential pre-publication treatment, my copyediting package solidifies organization, checks facts, reviews continuity, refines word choice and paragraph structure, and tidies grammar and punctuation.

Authenticity Reading

An authenticity (or sensitivity) reader can enhance audience attunement and bolster authorial credibility and integrity. I offer authenticity reads for neurodivergence, abuse/trauma, and women.

Line Edits

Line editing perfects flow, style, coherence, and expressivity. If you have the main structure of your narrative nailed down but struggle with voice or clarity, a line edit may be just what your manuscript needs.

Proofreading

At my lowest rate, you’ll find this service indispensable. Proofreading eradicates typos, double-checks formatting and layout, and gives spelling, grammar, and punctuation a complete polish.

Book Coaching

If you've only got an outline, a partial draft, or just a big idea with scattered notes, book coaching may be right for you. I provide brainstorming support, accountability, writing advice, and recommended resources.
